Day 90: Tension

c/o diningwithsinners.org

Change is never an easy thing to do. It takes courage, determination and wisdom to go for it. Resistance is a normal reaction to change but it makes a person shrink especially if what involves in change is for the common good of everybody.

Rules are meant to guide, at times to discipline. They both allow human beings to know the limits of their humanity but they also highlight their capacity to be humane. When one violates them, it only proves that one is really in dire need of them.

In human formation change and rules work side by side. Undoubtedly they create tension but it’s what makes them to not fall apart. However change and rules will never work unless one stop thinking that he/she is the boss, that everything is under his/her power. And unless one submits to the Power from Above, change and rules will remain impossible tasks to pull off.
